First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study checks if a new balance assessment system gives consistent results in teenagers with scoliosis. Forty participants aged 12-18 with mild to moderate curves will perform balance tests twice, one week apart. The goal is to see if the tool is reliable for measuring postural stability, not to treat or improve the condition.
